Random tidbit

I'm endlessly amused that so far not one person at Mark Watches has mentioned "WE'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!!" which is honestly one of the things I remember the most about those first two eps of S4. Because that was a THING. Wasn't it? It was SO MUCH A THING at the time. lol

But it does raise a small point I thought about --

So let's think about this for a moment. Kara was, obviously, right; they were going the wrong way when the Fleet continued on in a straight line from the Nebula. However, this raises the point -- How did the Thirteenth Tribe find Earth 1.0? They were, so far as we know, also going on a straight line toward the nebula (which was a nova at the time). Which means they were ALSO going the wrong way eventually once they passed the nebula.

So they also must've had a guide. I'm sure someone else thought about that, but I don't think I ever have, so there you go. :)

Things I think about while writing NaNo. yes. Speaking of NaNo, I definitely will need a beta. I mean, I will anyway, obv, but I have no idea if Julie is coming off as too much of a bitch right out of the gate. But it doesn't matter right now. ONWARD!

"We're going the wrong way" was definitely a THING! Although I think a big part of that was the fact it was in a lot of the promos before the season started.

Oooh interesting thought that the Five had a guide too, I actually hadn't thought of that before.

OH YES THE PROMOS. It got to be kind of laughable - kind of like that one of Boomer smashing the picture for Downloaded. In context it's better, but alone, it was LOLOL.

well not them, actually. The Five might have had a guide to leave Earth, but I think not - since they were re-tracing the journey the Colony took originally. I mean the FIRST trip out when the 13th left Kobol and built the Temple of Hopes..

Obv in my fic I have the FIve as also part of that journey in a previous life, but that's pretty darn speculative..:)
